Invisible Mesh

I have created a site mesh which is clearly visible in the 2D view, however when i switch to a 3D view the screen is blank. However I can select the mesh and the corners and the other nodes appear as dots, but that is all I can see. If I hit esc then everything is blank again. I have all layers turned on, and everything is as I always have it. I have attached a screenshot to illustrate, the blue lines are the perimeter shape (at 0), while the black dots above are where the surface of the mesh should be.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks Lazslo, I see what mean, on my mesh it looks like the surface nodes have somehow been duplicated lower down. Not sure how that happened, and absolutely no idea how to get rid of them, so starting again may be the answer. Thanks for your help.

Same thing happened to me today. Did a search under "mesh disappeared" and found some interesting causes. Search first before you have to recreate.
